Learn to Row While in Ireland
There are a lot of ways to get the most out of your rowing experience in Ireland even if the closest you’ve ever come to a rowing event is watching that scene in The Social Network on your direct tv ! Here are a few suggestions for the novice rower aiming to learn while on a trip to Ireland
Rowing Summer Camps: Not just for kids anymore, many rowing programs have started offering special sessions for adults. Sign up in advance and spend up to a week learning the basics of competitive rowing on some of the best straits in the world.
Go Through a Travel Agent: Many travel agents have connections in Ireland to get you in on some private lessons with the country’s best rowing coaches.
Work With Some Schools: There’s no better way to throw yourself into the sport than by approaching some local universities and ask if you can shadow. You may end up hauling boats and counting life vests but you’ll be immersed and learn more than you could in a week of private lessons.
